SONY has confirmed that they are working on a new more powerful console, which supports 4K resolution and will have superior graphics to the current PS4.
Sony has confirmed the the long rumoured Sony PlayStation 4 Neo, an upgraded version of the current PlayStation 4 is indeed real.
The console is intended as a “high-end PS4” that supports 4K resolution and enhanced graphics.
This new console will also be more expensive than the current $350 Ps4, Sony Interactive Entertainment president Andrew House revealed
“It is intended to sit alongside and complement the standard PS4,” House said.
“We will be selling both [versions] through the life cycle.”
Unfortunately, the new console will not be revealed at E3 next week.
Andrew House addressed this and said that the company are instead waiting to “ensure we have a full range of the best experiences on the new system that we can showcase in their entirety.
Microsoft is also reportedly preparing to announce two new consoles if its own.
Tech website The Verge has suggested that the lack of PS4 Neo at E3 could be a tactic by Sony to see what Microsoft reveal.
Polygon had previously reported that the Xbox One “Scorpio”, Microsoft’s Neo equivalent, will have 6 teraflops of performance compared to the rumoured 4.14 teraflops of the PS4 Neo.
In the same interview House dispelled fears that all PS4 games will remain compatible across both consoles for the duration of the consoles lifetime.
Sony are also expecting "all or a very large majority of games" to be optimised for the new PS4 in the future.
It's also believed that Sony will be able to sell the hardware at a profit from launch, rather than selling at a loss and relying on software, or PSN subscriptions to make up the difference.
Previous rumors had suggested that the new console would sell for roughly $399 and could also lead to a slight drop in price for the existing PS4 console.
Despite confirmation of the console itself, House refused to be pushed on the price, release date, specs and official name for the new console.
It's still unclear if the Neo will arrive this year, although previous rumours had suggested that all PS4 games will be required to be compatible with the console from October, regardless.
